Keeping The Balance [Hiatus]

Chapter Twenty-Five - End Of The World Savior - Task World Two (11)

It has been half a week since Ann left the group behind to die by the high-level zombie's dead hands. She made sure to get her appearance super messy before she went back to the base. Even though she hated pain she made sure to give herself some injuries to make it seem like it was a struggle to escape.

She made up a story about how the group made her run away because they knew she wouldn't be able to help out with fighting the zombies. She wanted to stay but they just forced her to run away in the car that was hidden away.

Everyone in the base believed her story and offered her comfort. Ann tried not to smile at how easy everyone in the base was to fool. It was just like when she killed off the heroine. Just a few tears and regret on her face is enough to fool these idiots.

Ann felt regret that she didn't have anyone that strong to protect her but she knew that people would be rushing to have her in their group due to her healing abilities. She just loves all the attention she is getting from everyone. No more looks of disinterest or annoyance from Ira or Bret anymore.

It seems like she will be able to live the best life now in the world as the only main character! This is the only thing she wanted but she still needs to have a rather attractive man as her partner.

During a day where she was flirting with a man in the base who was rather attractive (not on the level of Ira or Bret) and strong as well with his earth ability (but not that strong as Ira and Bret). It was so easy to get this man around her finger that she actually got bored with him rather soon but she did need him to survive.

As the man was taking her around the base on what she assumed was a date to him, Ann noticed that there was a commotion near the entrance of the base. As she was being led over to the entrance by the man she felt her blood go cold when she saw the very people that she told everyone in the base was dead.

"Oh, is that you Ann? I am surprised you are still alive but I guess anyone can survive if they just use other people as scapegoats as they run away." Hol was struggling not to smile as he looked at Ann who was next to a man that wasn't really important in his eyes. He could see Ann's face go deadly pale as she took a step back.

Hol was back at the base with three cars behind him. During their time outside they found two more cars that help out with holding more supplies that they found outside. Hol even had a few of those zombie attracting plants hidden away in a box. He needed these plants so he could get some zombies to test out samples of a cure on.

Hol noticed that the group of people that were surrounding them was looking at Ann with questioning eyes. He noticed that Ann was going to run away but he used his wind ability to stop her in her tracks and knock her down.

"I-I can explain! W-What happened was a mistake! Who wouldn't run away when there are high-level zombies?!" Ann was pushing herself backward on her butt as she tried not to tremble at the cold look in Ira's eyes. She knew that if she didn't do anything at the moment it would lead to her death.

"Oh? So drawing the attention of the zombies using the plants is something anyone would do because they are scared? I didn't know that. I guess I should excuse the fact you almost killed us then." Hol stopped directly in front of shaking Ann. She looked like she was going to pass out from the fear but he wasn't done with her yet.

"How dumb do you think I am? I have dealt with idiots like you in the military and I know if I give you a second chance you will only do this again. Now you know what I have to do with you. We both know where this is going." Hol got to the same eye level as Ann who was currently crying at the moment.

"P-Please don't kill me..." Ann felt like she was really going to die but when she looked around for help from the people in the base she felt shocked at how quickly they looked away from her or gave her a look of disapproval.
